I just made the plunge into firewire recording, just ordered a 16 channel firewire mixer. I am really nervous about the latency issue, I had a standalone unit which does not have that problem. How do I go about connecting a external firewire hard drive and the interface together on a laptop? Most recommend an external drive for recording.

My recording setup is so close to comploete all I need is a way to get my signal into the computer. I have a studio projects B1 going into a VTB1 tube preamp, And now I am having a hard time deciding between firewire and PCI, as it seems I think firewire would be a faster clearer connection without all the crappy driver support and whatnot..

hello, i am a musician, but new to recording work. i wish to do a professional quality recording in the most affordable way. so i prefer to buy a firewire interface rather than a usb interface. a Yamaha personal firewire interface GO46 has caught my attention. it has two firewire ports, both are 6-pin type. however, my dell laptop has only one 1394 firewire port, it is a 4-pin firewire port.

sorry to come in here full guns blazing but I need info :D

right, first off let me enplane, I am and always have been an analog engineer, I own this, it is old, but I love her!

Problem solved -- it was a mains earth loop -- one minute fix -- oh joy!

Hi

I'm really considering getting an SSL DUENDE, which connects via firewire. I currently use a DIGI001 for recording (PCI card connectivity) an external firewire hard drive for my audio files. I'm getting a new PC soon, probably an Intel Dual 2.1Ghz or so, and with this new system I'll be using the DIGI002R I just bought (also firewire).

Hey everyone.

Hi

I have a Focusrite Saffire and I'm thinking of getting an Acer laptop (Acer Aspire 9800 series).

I was cautioned by someone that Acers sometimes have problems with firewire audio interfaces. Has anyone dad any experience of this compatability issue?
